Hi, I have a server that has been running Centos for about a year but I have not checked to see if there have been any changes to update. Has there been any updates or fixes for the update? I have not been in the loop for a while now. Thanks!
take a look at the 'yum' package - and the options available with it. eg. 'yum list' will tell you what you need to know.
Also, its a good idea to subscribe to the CentOS-announce mailing list, all package updates are announced there. ( http://lists.centos.org/ )
Setting up rss feeds for the repositories as well, so you could / would / should be able to subscribe to only the repo+arch combinations you want to stay informed about... Lookout for an announcement about this shortly.
Or you can just do a 'yum update' regularly and the right thing will happen.
depends on what you do, on a lot of production machines, people prefer to first know about the issues being fixed, and testing updates before they go live.
but, i guess that depends a lot on what you do and what your machines do :)
